Solution Brief
Instant Kubernetes Platform Engineering for the Cloud
Platform engineering is the practice of creating a reusable set of standardized tools, components, and automated processes, often referred to as an Internal Developer Platform (IDP). IDPs, and the teams that build them, are important because they ease development by providing “golden paths” for developers to self-serve and self-manage their code.
As the cloud, Kubernetes, and infrastructure as code (IaC) increase in popularity and extensibility, organizations are having to manage a complex network of systems without the necessary technical knowledge and skill set. To reduce the friction and mental load on developers, many forward-thinking companies have formed dedicated teams that build and maintain internal platforms and establish best practices to accelerate enterprise software production.
